How Grafana Mimir Cut Costs 25%: Kafka and WarpStream at Massive Scale | Big Tent S3E3

Big Tent hosts Mat Ryer and Tom Wilkie talk with Marco Pracucci (Grafana Labs), Cyril Tovena (Grafana Labs), and Ryan Worl (WarpStream/Confluent) about building Sigyn (the internal code name for Mimir’s next-gen architecture), public, open source, and designed for lower TCO and stronger reliability. They cover gapless consumption, predictable partitioning, new “block builder” components, and the practical realities of migrating “mid-flight.”

Is Claude Code Spying for OpenAI? #speedscale #anthropic #openai #claude #codingagent

While analyzing network traffic, we found huge amounts of telemetry including chat snippets, being sent to statsig.anthropic.com. The irony? Statsig was recently acquired by OpenAI. In this video, we use proxymock to intercept the traffic and show you exactly what’s being sent from your terminal to Anthropic (and technically, OpenAI’s infrastructure).

Peeking Under the Hood of Claude Code

Everyone is talking about Claude Code, but few people understand the machinery running in the background. Today, we’re opening up the terminal to see how Anthropic’s coding agent manages state, runs tests, and fixes its own bugs. From the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to its unique React-based terminal UI, find out what makes Claude Code the most "senior" feeling AI assistant on the market.

Mimir's next-gen architecture-Kafka in the middle, object storage underneath, and a whole lot less coupling

Sometimes the most important engineering work starts with a deceptively simple question. Not “What’s the best dashboard layout?” or “How many Ts are in Matt?” (still contested), but something much more fundamental: What if the read path and the write path didn’t have to share the same fate?

Mature Companies Don't Care About Cloud Costs

“Cut spending!” “Slash costs!” “Stick to the budget!” Poke your head into almost any finance meeting in a SaaS company and you’re likely to hear one or more of the above phrases played on repeat. At first glance it makes sense: Costs are increasing, so we should reduce them. I’d like to challenge that narrative. Mature companies don’t care about cloud costs.

Performing Real-Time Anomaly Detection with InfluxDB 3: An In-Depth Guide

If you’re working with sensors, machines, or embedded systems, your primary goal is simple: no unplanned downtime and smooth operations. This means detecting errors and taking action as soon as possible, ideally preventing them through predictive maintenance before they become critical issues.

Podman vs Docker 2026: Security, Performance & Which to Choose

When it comes to containerization technologies, Podman and Docker are the two giants that often come up in conversation. Both have revolutionized how we build, deploy, and manage containers, but what sets them apart? In this blog, we'll dive deep into a side-by-side comparison of Podman and Docker. We'll cover everything from architecture to security, performance, and compatibility.
